Banner M12 Laser Emitters - Manual

M12 Class 2 Laser Emitter
IEC Class 2 Laser for use with Banner modulated receivers
Printed in USA 10/03 P/N 52989 rev. C
• Class 2 laser is a low-power device emitting visible red beam (650 nm wavelength).
• Beam is bore-sighted to within 2 milliradians and 0.25 mm of the housing centerline.
• Collimated, apertured beam is 3.5 mm diameter with divergence of less than 1
milliradian.
• Compatible with a variety of Banner modulated photoelectric receivers (see Excess Gain
chart, page 3).
• Useful for long-range sensing, or for sensing very small objects or profiles; excellent
mechanical repeatability in position-sensing applications.
• Smooth-barrel aluminum housing is suitable for a precision mount.
• Available with unterminated, 2 m (6.5') cable or 150 mm (6") pigtail, quick-disconnect
cable
• Modulated beam (33kHz, 25% duty cycle)
• 57 mm (2.25") long overall
• 10 to 30V dc operation

*NOTES: • 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number to the cabled version (e.g., M126E2LD W/30).
• A model with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable. See page 6.

CAUTION . . .
Never stare directly into
the emitter lens. Laser light
can damage your eyes.
Avoid placing any mirror-like object in
the beam. Never use a mirror as a
target. (See Figure 5.)
WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A
sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current Banner Safety Products
catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
